how much are those maxi scooters? Are they available locally?


here's a really interesting bike from honda. a tourer/maxi scooter mix:
Honda DN-01



Not as punishing as a full big bike.

Just wandering why this maxi scoot like the honda silverwing second hand sell for about 240.000 - 270,000 its a 600cc. and almost the same price the YAMAHA T MAX 500cc. second hand .
Honda DN-01
The 680cc OHC V-twin with shaft drive delivers great power and torque for everyday commuting and spirited backroad riding.
Gives the rider a choice of modes, from fully automatic to a shiftable 6-speed.
Never seen one here yet .but it a nice bike .

240-270k php for a secondhand unit?

Paps ,ganyan talaga kamahal ang presyo niyan mas mahal pa sa kotse . Lalo na iyong mga scooter na gawang italy . Lalo na iyong mga big bike na modelo pang hobby lang talaga.Hindi kagaya ng mga underbone na maraming gumagamit at mura piyesa at pang araw araw na gamit.

The Italian maxi scooters are officially sold here (brand new), not sure about the japanese brands.
I think brand new big displacment Italian maxi scooters cost something like P400K and up.

PS: Autohub's old Chery dealership at Ortigas is now a Piaggio/Gilera/Vespa dealership (opening soon).

Saw a Honda DN-01 displayed at Megamall earlier this year.

Check out this Aprilia Mana 850...

Looks like a normal naked sport bike but it uses a 7-speed CVT that has a Sequential mode (pedal or +/- handlebar switches), a Fully automatic mode (Autodrive) and a Semi-Autodrive mode (the rider can change down independently).

Nice bike , It looks like a motard can be use in street and off road just change the tire. Aprilla are expensive bike with lots of torque . Before i have a 2 stroke Aprilla 250RR lots of power can beat the 400cc opr 600cc in 1/4 mile. I used this bike most of our ride in infanta ,Quezon . Lots of twistie and blind curve so lots of rider overshoot if you are not familiar.

tested my friend's Gilera Nexus 500. ang lakas parang hindi scooter hehe! it can easily overtake speeding cars in the metro. but at the same time napakamahal nya 300-400k+ ata nya binebenta. isang kotche na presyo haha


the Honda DN-01 looks futuristic like the KTM RC8 superbike.
